What would Rafal say about Mifal?

(which I wholeheartedly ship against my better judgment btw)

Also, would he consider me a seer?

for reasons...

Hopefully, the answer I came up with isn't too disappointing.

⸻

Rafal: What is "Mifal?"

[After he receives an explanation:]

Rafal: Ergo, you intended to "ship" me with a student... why? I don't love, and I'm not about to make a habit of it. It'd sooner be cold in Hell before that happens. [dismissively, with a note of sarcasm] I think you would better your chances by bringing this query to my brother. I'm sure he'd just rejoice to hear it. Besides, as useful to my cause as he was, Midas was too willful—the boy didn't even follow through with my plans.

Rhian: [overhears and interrupts, mockingly] O, the great Rafal was felled yet again by the error of his ways. You should've known he wouldn't be pliable enough for either of our plots! Even your original class of students sentenced you to life in Monrovia. Loyalty these days is seldom a given among subordinates. [shaking his head.]

Midas: You're one to talk. As if anyone's ever been loyal to me! And, Rafal wanted to ship me with that puffed-up, googly-eyed brother of his? Bleh. What use do I have for him?

[Personally, I'm doubtful about whether Midas would ever admit his feelings openly, given how he can barely tolerate sentimental, Everish customs. Did he have (confirmed or implicit?) feelings for Rafal? I don't think I interpreted his character in the same way as you might've.]

Which reasons? I don't quite follow what you mean.
